What is a read phenomenon in database transactions and what are the three standard isolation anomalies?

Key points

  • Isolation levels prevent dirty reads, non-repeatable reads, and phantom reads
  • Dirty reads occur when uncommitted changes are read
  • Non-repeatable reads happen when the same row returns different values in the same transaction
  • Phantom reads involve new rows appearing in a repeated range query
